Parents sceptical of school fee insurance programmeDubai: Eight out of ten parents have shrugged off an education insurance programme launched by a school group saying that if it really wants to help pupils and their parents it should first try to get their tuition fees decreased. The initiative, launched in the Global Education Management Schools (GEMS) group, is entirely optional and guarantees a child's education in the event of death or permanent disability of a family's main wage earner. Known as the GEMS Education Protection Programme (GEPP), it is said to be the first of its kind in the UAE education market. Coverage for the insured family member is valid worldwide. Uniquely, the nominated parent does not need a medical check-up or even to show proof of employment. On the basis of a fully refundable deposit, a child will receive free tuition until the completion of his/her schooling or 20th birthday. read more.

Expat Australians welcome Howard's bid for fifth termDubai: Australians living in the UAE have welcomed the news that their long-serving Prime Minister John Howard is to seek another term in office. Howard announced this week he would remain leader of the Liberal party and contest elections scheduled for late 2007. His decision dashed the hopes of finance minister and deputy PM Peter Costello, who claimed recently that Howard now into his fourth term as Prime Minister had promised to step down after two terms. Howard's time in office has been characterised by economic prosperity, but his foreign policy such as his support for the Iraq War and socially conservative views have alienated some voters. Geoff Wheatley, 63, chairman of the Australian Business in the Gulf Group, said 67-year-old Howard's decision to contest the next election was "to be applauded". read more.
